    Not a huge number of location changes, but I updated the chart, anyway.

    Again, let me know if there are corrections, or if you want me to be more specific about where you are or whatnot. :3

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    Any chance that we can get this going again?

    I think it would be helpful if something were to happen big picture in the story. A lot of people have started interacting to a small extent now, but there's no much to talk about when we don't know anything and nothing's going on. The festival really kicking off would probably help.

    The festival itself has begun. I'm not sure what kind of kicking off you mean, but there are a lot of people who have suggested they are going to come up to shion and myself but none of them have yet which has left me a bit tied down. Perhaps I'll just have to have the soldiers storm the place before they get the chance.

    There's little evidence of the festival having started, what with us all in various bars. Once I get through some of these writing projects I might try and get Tala and I out of the inn and into the fray. That might prompt some others to get a bit more actively involved in the festivities that are supposed to be occurring.

    loud trumpets from all around the city powered a noise through the air. With many still finishing their meals, it seemed that the festival was officially beginning.
    Pretty much all of that post was declaring that the festival was officially in full swing. xD It just seems people were very reluctant to go outside into the midst of it all, so shion and I had to instead 'escape' to a bar to get closer to more characters.

    You people clearly love your booze waaaay too much.

    Not saying it wasn't declared - just saying no one seems to be doing much about it. Like I said, when I post next I might try and get moving out into it and see if that prompts anyone to follow.

    Loony, Citizen Bleys sat his character at your table, I was going to join you both once you had at least acknowledged each other.

    Could do with some event that drives us or I could go start some drama.

    I'm sort of nervous of about moving the story on, because I wouldn't want change something too story-changing.

    In my head, this is how I am foreseeing my character's (Locke) storyline. Only read the spoiler if you want to:

    Locke's immediate story arc
    Basically, I want the queen dead.

    So far, Kathvi and the other characters are intertwined together in that bar, or near it anyway. Either later that evening or tomorrow, I'm envisioning the Queen will give a speech of solidarity to calm the Lucrecian populace down. Locke will attend this speech, partly to hear what the hell is going on, but also to see his mother for the first time in several years since leaving the Royal Household. During this speech, the Queen is assassinated. Frankly, I don't know who yet, but the fact that the queen is killed will be enough to cause people to be highly suspicious of outsiders and anyone who looks out of place, making Lucrecia more hostile towards the outsiders (and even those who aren't but just look funny).

    Locke will be highly shaken that his mother is dead, and... that's about it in terms of my formulation. But this will take up several chapters of Locke's storyline.

    It has the added benefit of making Lucrecia less of a clustering point in Sedorra. I love that lots and lots of people are there, but there's still all of Sedorra left to explore and my thinking is that by killing the queen (again, I would leave who actually kills her a mystery, unless it actually was a named character), Lucrecia will be more hostile and more unsafe, and basically just to stir things up.

    That's my thinking of it. If it is too story-changing, I'm happy for Locke to go with the flow, but I really think that killing the queen at her own festival will seriously spice up the story in a not unbelievable way. It merely capitalizes on the unrest already caused by Kathvi and her ice magic.


    By the way, I'm on holiday in Switzerland with the boyfriend so I may not be able to post anything to the story until Monday. Sorry!

    When I said I wanted to start some drama I totally had that person dying in mind as well. I was thinking about making a new character and doing it but wasn't sure if that would mess up the GMs' over arcing story.

    This is a pretty cool idea - don't know how the GMs feel about it though since I've no idea what their planned story arc is for Sedorra at the moment. Also don't know who would get to decide the true motive and/or perpetrator. Also probably the GMs. Worth thinking about though.

    We don't really have a planned story arc.

    EDIT: Although we've been meaning to drive a story based on disparate reactions to the existence of Outworlders, from those who view them with hostility to those who think they're gods.

    Well, I've been aiming to shoehorn Desmond in as a primary villain/evil emperor character, but it's not too late to shift back to the either-redemption-story-or-tragedy idea that I had when I came up with the character initially.

    No, no! We need an evil character! Everyone so far has been fairly nice.
